What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants argued that the RV of £145 per m² was excessive and that rental evidence from five new lettings close to the antecedent valuation date (April 2015) supported a price of £130 per m². The VO relied on a broader range of rental evidence including rent reviews, supporting £145 per m². The tribunal accepted the appellant's analysis and found that new lettings close to the AVD provided the best evidence. Additionally, the tribunal disregarded certain measurement amendments made by the VO without supporting evidence and determined that £130 per m² was the appropriate tone.
